Brian Wayne Clegg, 51, was shot multiple times outside the Rancho Discount Mall, 2901 W. Washington Ave., near Rancho Drive.

Clegg died at the scene in what police described as a targeted attack.

Two other homeless people sleeping next to the man ran when they heard gunshots. One of them called police.
